Ordered a new motor (on a lease) last week and expected delivery is May. Just hope my current car is still worth top dollar when I sell it.

Used car craziness...

The garage I bought my car from in ellsmere Port almost 6 years ago have sent me a flyer through the post the other day offering me top price for my car if I sell it back to them
That sucks. I went through the same thing with furniture last year when I moved. That's easy to not have a couch, a car seems like a complete headache to have to deal with like that.
Hopefully February is the last pushback for you

Urgently need to get shut of my old 59 plate Megane, and after seeing their tv ads, had a look at Zen Auto car leasing. The new car I’ve been looking at looks to have very reasonable monthly payments compared to finding the £20k to buy the car outright. I’ve never considered leasing before but I like the look of it compared to PCP, which I’ve never been interested in. The Zen website seems to suggest the cars would be available right away, but some of the posts on here suggest that isn’t going to be the case. Anybody have experience of Zen?

I’ve used select contracts a few times in the past, been sound.
We sold both our cars in the last few weeks and ordered a new one on lease to replace them. We’ve both worked from home the last 18 months and both cars were in positive equity due to the price hike.
Ordered a fully electric car, to see what the fuss is about.

Alright Lads, looking at leasing for the first time myself, went to Vanarama, found the car I wanted and was set to go , then they email saying the quotes were wrong and that the prices were actually 20% more, frustrating and makes me a little suspicious, Just interested in which lease companies other people have used or would recommend

I’ve used select car contracts a few times mate, had a few brand new cars of them never had any issues at all. Easy to deal with and fast.

I’ve got a small car to sell. Vauxhall Viva. 66 plate but less than 11,000 miles. What would people recommend in terms of selling it?
100 % sell it private.
The likes of We Buy Any Car, will just try and rip you and offer you way below bottom book.
I`d try Auto Trader and also put it on the likes of Gumtree too.
As the mileage is so low and if you`ve got all the history, it should sell quickly, but I suspect you`ll also get a lot interest from dealers too - " I`ll give you X amount now and come around and take it off your hands now ".
Don`t entertain them, as they`ll try and knock you down further on the doorstep and they`re just as bad as We Buy Any Car.

This will be my 3rd lease. My first leon cupra I went through Centralukvehiclesolutions. They were fine, they were just the broker so took their slice and the rest of my dealings were with VAG finance. Second cupra I went direct through Seat Stockport, they didn't take an arrangement fee which was good, and again the rest of the contact was with VAG group after I'd taken delivery.
My current one is with another broker, so I've already paid them £180 to secure the deal.
I'd say go and have a look on the pistonheads forum. There's a general leasing thread about how it all works, and another with deals people have seen. You need to move quite quick with the lease deals, they can only be around for a day or two, or even not at all in some cases. Accidental (deliberate) pricing errors are often put out there by brokers to get you in contact and try to offer you alternative (worse) deals.
I was initially worried about leasing but wouldn't think twice about it now. As long as you look after the car as if it was your own. Deffo have a look over on pistonheads though.
My car lease runs out June 2022 so was thinking of not renewing and getting a second hand but with the prices, nah. Just ordered my new car, better spec, for £30 cheaper per month somehow.
Shame its not a Firenze ?
